Change Pickup Beat Sounds
Just bought Notation Composer after using it on the free trial. Very happy with the program, but is there a way to change the pickup beat sounds to a more normal metronome sound? It sounds like some industrial death metal band right now. Maybe this is a funky MIDI issue peculiar to my setup, but maybe I'm just missing something. Thanks.

Re: Change Pickup Beat Sounds
Hi, Al:
Under Perform/Metronome/Setup, you can change the sounds used by Composer for the metronome. You can either select the computer "beep" sound or use your keyboard's drum channel sounds -- actually, you can choose any sounds, but they'll all be on one channel, which means that, if not drum channel sounds, they'll all sound alike. Good luck. David |

Re: Change Pickup Beat Sounds
Thanks for the reply. The metronome sounds fine, and it seems to correspond to the sounds selected, but the pickup beat has a completely different sound. I'll do a little more experimentation now that I'm not missing something simple.

Re: Change Pickup Beat Sounds
Never figured out what caused the bad sound on the pickup beats. Saw the problem across different computers and midi devices. I just added some blank measures to the beginning of the piece as a workaround and turned off the terrible sounding pickup beat option.

Re: Change Pickup Beat Sounds
Hi, Al:
With my system, the pickup beats sound the same as the general metronome beats, whether running through internal sounds or outboard synths. No idea what the situation is with yours. David |

Re: Change Pickup Beat Sounds
I noticed it plays ok on other songs. I had tested the same song on other systems, but I hadn't thought to test other songs. It's a decent sized file, and I've attached it if you want to try it on your system.
